| Popis: | The preliminary investigation of the relationship of abuse to unintended pregnancy was conducted using focus group data. The two separate focus groups were held in Middle Atlantic urban and Southern urban. Results indicated the connections between relationship abuse and unintended pregnancy through partners control of contraception and the mans desire to have a child. Besides the lack of using contraception seemed to be related to the male partners definition for manhood. Mens refusal in using condoms contributes female partners risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. Moreover women in the focus groups suggest that health care professionals need to be assessed for abuse. |
